Okay, this is more of a "please help me" post as it is my opinion on a topic. My son will be 9 this summer, and after two years of living with my parents, a move that while strategic, has also given me heartburn, we are moving into our own home! With this comes New Rules, Chores, etc.
My son has been babied - I will be the first to admit, by me, my parents and a few of his relatives. He is the child of divorce and I moved him off the grid when he was 7 years old. But, ok - we've been here for two years and we need some rules. He has a piggy bank...and savings bonds.
How do I teach him about managing the money he has received for birthdays, holidays and good grades? He wants to buys toys and video games, ALL THE TIME! How do I talk to him about while we live comfortably, we can't always spend our money on wants...we have to save for a rainy day.
Any recommendations for websites, books, programs, etc. will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
RABIAH
